Background In recent years, crop production has expanded due to the variety of
commercially available species. This increase in production has led to global competition …

The continuous need to satisfy world food demand has led to the search for new alternatives
to combat economic losses in agriculture caused by phytopathogenic fungi. These …

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for human health and animal nutrition. The aim
of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory activities of Se-enriched lactic acid bacteria (LAB) …

The present study was designed to discover novel secondary antibiotic metabolites from
Actinomycetes species from the soil of Rijal Almaa, Saudi Arabia. A laboratory-scale …

Clostridioides difficile infections (CDIs) are responsible for a significant number of antibiotic-
associated diarrheal cases. The standard-of-care antibiotics for C. difficile are limited to …

Due to the threat posed by the rapid growth in the resistance of microbial species to
antibiotics, there is an urgent need to develop novel materials for biomedical applications …

The effect of sodium selenite on anaerobic digestion of waste sewage sludge (WSS) was
studied. Interestingly, methane production was enhanced at 2 mg/L and inhibited at 100 …

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common hospital-acquired infections in humans
and are caused primarily by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). Indwelling urinary …

In this work, we investigated, for the first time, the possibility of developing scaffolds for bone
tissue engineering through three-dimensional (3D) melt-extrusion printing of medium chain …

Bacteria are increasingly relying on biofilms to develop resistance to antibiotics thereby
resulting in their failure in treating many infections. In spite of continuous research on many …
